The big names in color—Pantone, Bejamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams—have released their signature colors for the upcoming year, and trendy homeowners are working to incorporate the colors into their design. Here are some recommendations on we have on how to use them.

 

Benjamin Moore: Caliente

This color is a deep and unapologetic red. For home exteriors, we’ve been incorporating similar colors into the gables, such as the James Hardie shake on this Medota Heights home (pictured above).

 

Sherwin-Williams: Oceanside

On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Sherwin-Williams choice is a rich and deep, yet warm, blue. This strong color is best used to complement neutral siding in places such as shutters or trim.

Pantone: Sailor Blue, Harbor Mist, Warm Sand, Coconut Milk
